    @GEvoEsports Not until you fix the godawful monetization. Overwatch 2 will kill your game if you don't.

    Wow Overwatch 2 is so ****** fun, they really did a good job of making it a “watch paint dry” simulator, fix your ****** queues @Blizzard_Ent

  • FlareFluffsune Fluffy Fluffsune! (@FlareFluffsune) reported

    Attention: If you complain about the Monetisation changes to Overwatch 2, and then still play the game: You are the ******* problem. Have no right to complain. Play another ******* game. Stop letting companies get away with this ****. You morons. #Overwatch2

  • Shmegula_ssb GRNT | Shmegula (@Shmegula_ssb) reported

    I waited in a 40000 person queue to play overwatch, got an error, waited in another 30000 person queue, finally got in. Then my controller began to drift so I went to the settings to recalibrate it. Got disconnected from the game, back to the infinite queue...

  • xLovableLoser Jess ☻ (@xLovableLoser) reported

    @BlizzardCS @_Samurai_2077_ So I’ve never done anything wrong when playing, and because of a service I choose I’m being punished ? I spend over $500 on your game and other people have too, I’ve been playing this game since overwatch 1 1000 of hours.

  • Erza_Oficial Erza (@Erza_Oficial) reported

    For who is trying to play Overwatch 2, i really do recommend you change the battlenet region to Asia, the queue is way shorter there and i don't really think i had high ping, asked in my match after login and people said that we were not in Asia. lmk if it work, maybe is a bypass

  • Thejadefury He who shall not be named (@Thejadefury) reported

    Overwatch 2 opens with a generic *** screen and a ddos attack. You just know its going to be ***.

  • IronNovahkiin 🌻 IronVoid 🌻 (@IronNovahkiin) reported

    Overwatch Twitter, I am dumb and need an explanation in simple terms. In overwatch 2 everything from my currency to skins to sprays and emotes are locked again even though they were earned in ow 1. Is there a way to fix that, please don't tell me I lost everything. 😱
